Unfortunately the judge rarely lived up to this quote on his legal opinions while on the Supreme Court. 

Yes the question what to do with them continues the treatment of "them" as some sort of property. Individual liberty is always the best answer to that question.

Frederick Douglass would make modern liberals head's explode.

The arrogant busy bodies in government are the absolute enemy of this right.

Racism, Nazi comparisons are being made so routinely only proves ignorance and simultaneously diminishes the impact when real discrimination exists.

Waffler in his confusion actually made the case for limited government.

"...not all people are evil but people will deteriorate towards evil if it is not confronted and opposed."

George Washington said it best:
"Government is not reason, it is not eloquence. It is force, and like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."

FDR was an arrogant, power hungry, sleazy, lying POS and was the greatest enemy of individual and economic freedom period!

Robert, human nature has not changed. The quote is every bit as relevant today as the day it was uttered.

Self defense a basic human right that liberals want to take away.

So true, each invasion of liberty has over time been accepted by the masses and then used as precedent for the next. Like the proverbial frog in water slowly brought to a boil.

Such an articulate economist and a very wise man.

History has been kind to FDR because he was President when the Nazi's were defeated. His economic policies were an out-right attack on individual and economic freedom and prosperity in favor of greater government power.

For some freedom is no more than a concept. Actually taking the responsibility for freedom is beyond some.

Some are too cowardly to live free.

More proof our founders wisdom on human nature was unparalleled.
